Reviewing v1.0; this is a pretty incredible game. Others have mentioned many of the reasons, but I wanted to give my own shout-out and thanks to Caribdis for putting in the time to make this.
First and foremost, the characters are amazing. I was growing increasingly attached to each of them. I could go into detail, but I'd be here all day. In particular, I enjoyed the fact that the protagonist (don't remember his default name, if he had one), felt like a real character and not an empty void to insert myself into.
Caribdis also nailed the balance of drama, humor, and sexy fun-times. It never felt like a slog to get to the H-scenes once they started, and it kept me engaged the whole way. for the most part, the story doesn't take itself to seriously; the humor is the focus, and it is top-notch, whether it be full scenes of outrageous spectacle like the game show, or constant quiet bits of humor in the character's reactions and dialogue. Despite that, when it needs to get serious or creepy, it does that, and does that well, without letting the humor get in the way.
There's so much more to say, but, again, I could probably be here a while. Thanks, again, Caribdis, for making this.
